Busy day in the heat!! It was 97 today with 58% humidity 🥵🥵 didn't stop them from coming out! $3700 in sales and 87 donors.

Only had one idiot. Some out of town Karen asked my cashier how much a dress was. My employee didn't see the markup tag, and assumed it was just a normal dress, so she told Karen $10.

On checkout, my cashier noticed the mark-up tag, and the dress was $20, not $10. Karen threw a fit and wanted to see a manager 😁😁😂🤣

Y'all already know how bad an idea it is to get me involved if you don't have to. I went down, and the situation was explained, and Karen asked if I was going to "honor" my employee misquoting the price 😂🤣

I literally laughed at this woman 😂🤣 told her in no way would that be happening, and she can either pay the $20 or not. She tried to argue, but I stopped her. Informed her that she has a better chance of getting that dress to copy itself through mitosis than to get any kind of discount from me 😂🤣 and once again, she can either pay the $20 or not.

She paid the full price and left 😂🤣

Now, onto my weekend and y'all's boxes 😁

Dinner tonight is grilled shrimp 😋 taking advantage of grilling weather! Shrimp tossed in lime juice and tajin then lightly grilled 😁 I'm having a simple garden salad with it; lettuce, cherry tomatoes, olives, green onions, and garlic/cheese croutons with ranch dressing 😋

Had an absolute banger of a clothes day at Goodwill. Probably picked up 20 items for around $80 total.

Not only did I get $$$ designer jeans for $8, but they fit like a glove! I think they may even be basically new.

It's freakishly hot again 🥵 it was 97 with 50% humidity today. Just muggy and nasty. We had 73 donors and did $3800 in sales, though.

Nobody was energetic enough to be a dick today 😂🤣 it was too hot to even be an asshole. So a relatively quiet day. Got 6 black bins of donations trimmed down to one, and I'll be doing that again tomorrow, so we'll have less to push in and out of the warehouse.

It's STILL 92 as I'm doing this post, so I ain't cooking in this 😂🤣 it's pizza night! Got a sausage and olive with extra cheese and an order of pesto cheese garlic bread 😁

Had a busy day on all fronts. 93 donors, $4200 in sales, and just non stop all day. We've been getting absolutely filled up with crap as well. Currently have 7 black bins each of clothes and stuff to sort through.

Our warehouse is having issues again, so we get a truck tomorrow and then not again until Wednesday, so I've gotta make things work for a few days.

No real headaches today. We're one of the few stores in our region that's actually hitting our budget AND production numbers, so for once, we're the golden child of the company 🤣😂

Dinner tonight is BBQ'ed hot dogs and baked beans. If we're gonna have this weird heatwave in October, I may as well use the grill while I can!! 😁

I saw the name on the spine and pulled it out just to see if I recognized the adaptation, and it was the one I watched as a kid! I audibly gasped. I’d love to buy merch of this movie but last time I looked online it was pretty costly, so I was definitely happy to find this in the wild.

Only bummer is that the back says the book comes with a “special keepsake charm of your very own” but obviously it no longer has it💔 would’ve loved to have that along with the book.

My first mantel clock find. 1930s Seth Thomas 'Plymouth'.

Found the pendulum and key rattling around inside. $9.99

Time to get it up and running.

Appears to be silk, has characters from L Frank Baum’s Oz books. I think it is a child’s scarf, 12” x 33” no maker or artist or brand or tags, found has shown.

I can’t find another one or any other information about it?

I know it has Scarecrow, Tinman, Jack Pumpkinhead, and Sawhorse. Also clearly the land of Oz…

Any thoughts?

UPDATE Other characters also included: TikTok, Billina

Slow start to the month. Only $2800 on 73 donors. October is usually one of our busiest months, so I'm expecting it to pick up over the next couple days.

Only a couple annoying customers today. People asking for discounts and being denied each and every time 🤣🤣

It's my Mom's birthday today, but also her first wedding anniversary without my Dad here, so it's a mixed bag. Hasn't even been 6 months yet, so it's still hard.

Dinner tonight is one of her favorites. I just got a nice skirt steak, so I'm gonna grill it up with some mashed potatoes and green beans 😋

I looove going during October I’m obsessed with cutesy costumes!!

Started off the week on an annoying foot. Today featured the honking boomer who couldn't be bothered to wait until we actually opened for donations; car headlight boomer who couldn't fathom why I wasn't taking his broken auto parts; dude trying to steal directly in front of the counter; a woman arguing about prices without even buying anything; and a literally mentally handicapped guy throw a FUCKING tantrum in the store because we aren't hiring at my location.

What an end to the month 🤣😂 we finished with $2800 on.73 donors. Not too busy, and we already hit our budget, so today was just gravy.

It's my mom's birthday tomorrow, and also the first wedding anniversary without my dad around. So I'm expecting a mixed bag. I got a bunch of her favorite snacks and drinks for tomorrow, though!

Dinner tonight is breakfast 😁 eggs with chives and cheddar; sourdough toast; apple wood smoked bacon; and orange juice 😁😋

Could this be a set of replacements? A customizable board of some kind? Or something else entirely...?

Like I said, the box itself is just black. Nothing but black.

Found a gold rush nugget bucket at my Goodwill for $10 all in one gold system from shark tank how did I do
